Chapter 91 Big Brother Xi Xi’s Gift

Chapter 91: Xi Xi's Gift

When Wen Yuchen made the call, Zheng Zheng himself answered and extended the invitation.

The little one mumbled, his words a bit slurred: "It's Zheng Zheng's birthday, please come, brother."

He made similar calls, first to Xi Xi, then to Xiao Shiliu.

After Tang Zhixiao answered the phone, it took him a while to understand what the little one was saying.

It wasn't until Xi Xi leaned in close, yelling excitedly into his ear: "I want to go to little brother's birthday party, I want to go, I want to go!"

Tang Zhixiao, annoyed, pushed him away from his ear: "Got it."

Zheng Zheng's birthday falls on June 1st, which is Children's Day.

Both Xi Xi and Xiao Shiliu happily accepted the invitation.

Over the next few days, Wen Yuchen was busy preparing for Zheng Zheng's birthday.

Lu Chenghe, on the other hand, was out early and back late, busy with who-knows-what.

Soon, Zheng Zheng's birthday arrived.

Early in the morning, Zheng Zheng excitedly kicked his short little legs, squirming around beside Wen Yuchen.

Wen Yuchen was woken up by his antics.

As the little one wiggled his bottom and rolled to the side, Wen Yuchen pulled him into his arms, playfully pinching his soft little belly and bottom.

Zheng Zheng giggled, his round little face flushed and utterly adorable.

He pursed his little mouth and planted a kiss on Wen Yuchen's chin: "It's my birthday!"

Wen Yuchen lay on his back, letting Zheng Zheng sprawl on top of him, and said: "Happy birthday, little birthday star."

Zheng Zheng beamed, showing all his teeth.

The father and son were happily lazing in bed when a knock came at the bedroom door.

Wen Yuchen asked: "Who is it?"

Lu Chenghe's voice came from outside: "Chenchen, it's me."

Wen Yuchen: "Come in."

Lu Chenghe pushed the door open to see two fluffy heads, one big and one small, looking at him in unison.

Zheng Zheng spoke up: "Do you, need something?"

Lu Chenghe walked over, picked him up from Wen Yuchen, and teased: "I'm taking you away."

Zheng Zheng pushed him with all his might: "No, no!"

Lu Chenghe chuckled, bounced Zheng Zheng a little, then held him on his arm and said to Wen Yuchen: "Any plans?"

Wen Yuchen sat up: "Nothing much, just spending the day playing with Zheng Zheng. Xi Xi will be here early later."

"Why is he coming so early?"

"He's just a kid. Anyway, since you're holding him, take him to wash up."

Under Wen Yuchen's arrangement, Lu Chenghe also got to enjoy some quality time.

Around ten in the morning, Tang Zhixiao arrived with Xi Xi.

After seeing the invitation, the butler welcomed them in and had the household security personally park their car.

Outside, an Omega stood, stamping his foot impatiently: "Do you know who I am? How dare you block me! Cousin, hurry up and take me inside!"

Tang Zhixiao ignored him completely and instead bent down to tell Xi Xi: "Tang Luoxi, no mischief."

Xi Xi nodded carelessly.

Tang Yuexi stood outside and shouted again: "Cousin!"

Tang Zhixiao turned around, shot him a cold look, and said to Butler Lu: "This guy has been following my car since early morning, be careful. Also, your community's security isn't great—how did they let just anyone in?"

Wen Yuchen, hearing the commotion, came out with Zheng Zheng.

As soon as Zheng Zheng saw Xi Xi, he dashed over and gave him a big hug: "Brother is here!"

Xi Xi returned the hug, and the two little ones held hands and walked inside, completely oblivious to the two adults following behind.

"Let me in!!" Tang Yuexi's voice rang out again.

Tang Zhixiao muttered "Such a nuisance" under his breath and said to the butler: "Uncle Lu, get rid of him, he's too noisy."

Butler Lu pushed up his reading glasses and called over a few strong security guards: "Consider it done!"

Wen Yuchen ushered Tang Zhixiao inside.

Tang Zhixiao said impatiently: "That guy's crazy; he's been following me around these past few days."

Wen Yuchen replied: "Yeah, they got rid of him."

Inside, the two children sat on the sofa.

Xi Xi shouted when he saw Tang Zhixiao: "Uncle, where's my present?"

Hearing him call, Tang Zhixiao placed a beautifully wrapped gift box in front of the two little ones.

Then, he took out a small box and handed it to Wen Yuchen: "This is a birthday gift for Zheng Zheng, and an apology gift. I put them together."

"That's very thoughtful." Wen Yuchen hadn't expected Tang Zhixiao to remember. He took the gift and placed it in front of Zheng Zheng.

The two adults didn't have much to say and sat on the sofa, watching a children's variety show, keeping an eye on the kids, and chatting occasionally.

The living room was filled with the children's laughter.

Xi Xi and Zheng Zheng unwrapped the gift—it was a high-quality Transformers figure.

Xi Xi pointed at the Transformer and said to Zheng Zheng: "This is Optimus Prime, my favorite one. I'm giving it to you, so you have to take good care of him."

Zheng Zheng nodded: He didn't quite understand what his brother said, but his brother must be right.

He poked Optimus Prime with his little finger and repeated, "Qing-qing-zhu."

Xi Xi heard his pronunciation and corrected: "It's 'Qing—Tian—Zhu—'."

Zheng Zheng: "Qing—Tian—Zhu."

Xi Xi gave a thumbs-up: "Great job."

The Optimus Prime figure was indeed quite substantial. Zheng Zheng tried hard to pick it up but couldn't.

Xi Xi pointed to the small gift box and said, "This is from my young uncle. Take a look."

Zheng Zheng: "Okay."

His chubby little hands clumsily tore at the wrapping paper. Inside was a red velvet box and a phone watch.

Zheng Zheng had seen advertisements for phone watches before and was overjoyed, hugging it tightly.

He held the watch out to Xi Xi: "Brother, same!"

Xi Xi reached out and rubbed his chubby cheek: "Do you like it? I picked it out."

After saying that, Zheng Zheng carried the gift box over to Wen Yuchen: "Daddy, wear it."

Wen Yuchen was unwrapping the watch packaging when his eyes were drawn to the small red velvet box.

Opening it, he found a little gold pendant lock inside.

Wen Yuchen couldn't help but say, "This is a bit too valuable."

Tang Zhixiao was intently watching the segment on the children's variety show where he was carving wood. Out of the corner of his eye, he said, "It's not expensive. It's a koi lock, with a nice meaning, so I bought it."

Wen Yuchen: Hah, you rich people.

Zheng Zheng got the phone watch and tried to put it on his wrist, but the clasp wasn't adjusted, so it was too loose and kept slipping off.

The little one had to hold it with his other hand, then lifted it to his ear, tilted his head, his bright eyes sparkling, and softly said: "Hello, is that Xi Xi brother?"

Xi Xi thought his chubby little brother was quite childish, but seeing that adorable face, Xi Xi decided to play along—definitely not because he was childish too.

Xi Xi held up his watch: "Yep, it's me. What are you doing, little bro?"

Zheng Zheng: "I'm, talking to brother, on the phone."

Xi Xi: "Oh, so why did you call?"

Zheng Zheng hemmed and hawed for a while and said, "Have your teeth, grown in yet?"

Hearing this, Xi Xi lowered his raised hand and leaned in close to Zheng Zheng's face: "Look, my teeth have already grown in."

Zheng Zheng looked at Xi Xi's white teeth, showed off his own little teeth, and laughed: "Mine, haven't fallen out."

Xi Xi reached out and rubbed his ear: "They'll fall out when you grow up. Every kid loses their baby teeth when they grow up."

Zheng Zheng twitched his little ear but didn't push Xi Xi's hand away.
